Once again, another loooong Thursday. I didn’t get home until 5:00. Again. I think I done well on my Biology test this morning. I’m thinking, at least a B. School just seems to be draining every ounce of life I have in me. I didn’t have much time to do anything else after school. I searched the internet a while, then I had to watch television. The O.C. was on. I rather enjoyed the episode. Then came Point Pleasant, in which I was pleasantly pleased with the direction the show seems to be taking. And to not talk about this so much now, you can always read my reviews of the episodes in the Forum. So please join now, so I can have people to talk about things with. JOIN THE FORUM!!! I wanted to make that a little bigger. Maybe it’ll get somebody’s attention. Well…I don’t feel much like blogging tonight, so I’m going to mosey off to bed pretty soon…

Updates…Of course, with such a busy day, it didn’t leave much time for updating this ol’ ragged website. But, I did manage to update the ~~Calendar~~. So, if you want to know what’s going on in my world, go check it out…

Another day gone by in the Life of Justin Tadlock. Of course, another typical Wednesday. School. Work. Computer. Smallville. Alias was off the air, so a slight change. Actually, I was a bit ticked off with the Smallville tonight. You can hear some of my anger voiced in the Forum. I didn’t write too much. I was too disappointed with Alicia’s death. I may have acted rather rashly with my review with the episode, but I’ll have to stand by it.

Good news found out today! I got my first German exam back. And I made a 100! Can’t beat that. The teacher said the tests would get harder, and that generally, people done the best on the first test. Though, I have found throughout my years in college that the first test is the most crucial. You have to study extra hard for it, because you usually don’t know what the test is going to be like, even with a study guide or test outline. So, it’s very important that you put in the study time for the first test. Okay, now the bad news: I have my first Biology exam at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Bummer (for lack of a better word). Then I have a Political Economy & another German test next week. So, I’ll be busy putting in some study time.

Well, that’s enough of school talk. But, that’s almost all I have to talk about these days. I’ll be going home this weekend. So there won’t be any updates or blogs for at least Friday. I haven’t decided if I was going to stay all weekend or one night. Probably just one night though. I have to go home to get my Mom’s tax forms so I can do my Financial Aid report for next year. Look at me, school talk again. I think I should just stop this nonsense now…

Updates…Not much in the way of updates. I did add one picture today. It’s a piece of Keira Knightley work, which can be found in the Art section. I also organized some files in there. Anyways, keep checking back for these wonderful updates.

Well…It’s a brand new month. A month of love and ummm…well, not for me. Just school and work for me. Another typical month. It’s been two days in a row that I’ve gotten guestbook messages from people advertising job websites. People! People! This is not a place to advertise your business sites. But, by all means advertise you personal website. Other than that, it’s a no-go.

I just got through watching Angel: Season 2 episode Trial. I was chatting it up on the message board that I freqent, Kryptonsite, on the Angel thread. And I just had a sudden urge to watch one of the Darla episodes (pre-vampire). I rather enjoy watching those old episodes. It brings back very fond memories. But, guess what! Angel: Season 5 is coming out on DVD in two weeks! Two Weeks! That’s February 14! I have yet to see Season 5, so it’s going to be an awesome week for me watching through the last and final chapter of the entire Buffyverse. Though, I have heard rumors of a possible Angel movie in the works. But, for now, it looks like it’s not happening. Maybe some good news will come someday for us avid Buffy & Angel fans. Anyways, I’m off to bed here in a few minutes. So, until a new day…

You know what? My internet went kabonkers! this weekend. I’m not sure what’s going on with it. But, my router doesn’t seem to be working properly. I finally got online by just hooking up directly to the modem. I’ll have to look at it more closely sometime this week. So, that’s my excuse for not writing in the last few days.

Anyways, my day has just been another typical Monday. Went to German class, went to work, then sat at the computer for hours on end. I did manage to finish up making flashcards for Biology. Big test this Thursday. Not much in the way of anything exciting. Oh, yeah, this weekend I bought The O.C. Season 1. I watched all 27 episodes on Friday night and Saturday. I absolutely love this show now. I’ll have to make a spot for it in the Forum. Well…That’s pretty much it in the life of Justin Tadlock. In light of my Last Will & Testament that I added here’s some last words of advice…

Worry me smilin with G’s in my pocket
Have a party at my funeral, let every rapper rock it
And let the hoes
That I used to know
From way before
Kiss me from my head to my toe.

Give me a paper and pen
So I can write about my life of sin
A couple of bottles of Gin
In case I don’t get in.

~Tupac

Updates…Of course, I added a Last Will & Testament page to my Mini Biography. Which, I hope to be a bigger biography at some point. I also added not one…but two pieces of artwork to the Art section today. I think that’s about it for now. Anyways, check back later for more website goodies…

Two days in a row! That’s a new personal record for me! At least, as of late. I plan on making this a more freqent thing. One thing I need to do every day is write, since I’m going to be an English major. I at least need to write something every single day of the week. Even if it’s here, typing nonsense into my little blog area.

So, Justin, how’s your day been? Loooooooooong…..And I mean that literally. I had class starting at 8:00 this morning and didn’t get out of school til’ almost 5:00. Really, I shouldn’t complain. In high school I usually didn’t get home until after seven o’clock every night. Especially with all my extracurricular activities. Anyways, I started the day off horribly. We had a Biology quiz today, that I knew about beforehand, and I totally blew it. I got 4/8 questions right. And one of them was a freebie! I’m not going to let that happen again. I started making my flash cards for Biology today, just like I’m doing with German, to help facilitate my learning experience. I might just do that with all my classes. It’s easier to pick apart single things and remember them when you put them on index cards. And it makes studying a little less stressful, since you get to have some physical activity for every question (moving the index card to the back of stack).

Anyways, the rest of the day was spent in class/lab and studying at the library between classes. Then, of course, I came home, popped in a disc from Buffy: Season 7 and watched that until Point Pleasant came on at 8:00. I have some commentary on that episode in the Forum. So go check that out. And sign up! Alright…I think that’s enough useless typing for the night. So, until I write something useless again…

Updates…I added a few things today. I put up some new Writings today. Just some old stuff that I’ve been wanting to format for a while. I also added another piece of Art. It’s a Point Pleasant piece of work. I’ve been wanting to do something with the show for a week now, but I can’t seem to find any good pictures to use. It’ll probably be a while before enough reach the surface.

Of course! I don’t write enough! Often times, I just plain don’t feel like it. I think I get writer’s block way too much. Which, by the way, is not a good thing. I’m entering into the major of English now for school. That’s only like the gazillionth time I’ve changed majors. I think this one’s right for me though. I’ll make my concentration on Creative Writing and my Supporting Coursework will be in Journalism. Here’s a look at an early prediction on what my last 2 years at Auburn University will be like:

Fall 2005
ENGL 4000 Advanced Composition (Major) (3)
ENGL 4530 MODERN AMERICAN LITERATURE (Major) (3)
FLGR 1020 ELEMENTARY GERMAN II (Foreign Language) (4)
JRNL 3410 PHOTOJOURNALISM (Supporting Coursework) (3)
JRNL 1100 NEWSPAPER FUNDAMENTALS (Elective) (3)

Spring 2006
ENGL 4200 Fiction Writing I (Major) (3)
ENGL 3110 Survey of Linguistics (Major) (3)
ENGL 2140 UNDERSTANDING FICTION (Major) (3)
JRNL 2210 NEWSWRITING (Supporting Coursework) (3)
PHIL 1010 INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC (Core Class) (3)

Fall 2006
ENGL 4210 Fiction Writing II (Major) (3)
ENGL 4220 Poetry Writing I (Major) (3)
ENGL 4570 SOUTHERN LITERATURE (Major) (3)
ENGL 4010 The Personal Essay (Major) (3)
JRNL 3220 FEATURE WRITING (Supporting Coursework) (3)

Spring 2007
ENGL 4430 MODERN BRITISH LITERATURE (Major) (3)
ENGL 4230 POETRY WRITING II (Major) (3)
ENGL 3190 STUDIES IN CHILDREN’S LIT. (Major) (3)
JRNL 4470 ADVANCED FEATURE WRITING (Supporting Coursework) (3)

Kind of scary, huh? But, that’s what it will look like, more than likely. I can substitute another English Class for any of these, or Journalism too. The English Major kind of lets you pick and choose. So, these classes are my top picks, as of right now. I just took my first German test today. I think I did pretty good. School’s going alright, so far, this semester. My top goal is to get on the Dean’s List this term. That’s something I haven’t done before. And I want to at least do it once, before I get to these upper-level English courses. Anyways, I promise to keep writing in this little useless box for now on. At least, a little more often than it’s been lately.

Updates…There’s been many updates in the last few weeks. I’ve worked on the film pages, the people pages are new, I’ve organized some things to make it look a little nicer, and I’ve made not one, but two new skins. And here they are:

I know. I know. It’s been since November 20, since I last jotted down useless information on this little spot on the web. But come on! A guy’s got lots of stuff to do. It was mostly school stuff. Then, me being lazy stuff. I’m not going to sit here and catch my oh so avid readers up on what I’ve been doing the last month and a half. There’s just waaay to much to put into it. And I don’t really feel up to that task right now. But here’s a bit o’ info. Saturday, we’ll be shooting the film A Piece Of My Eternal Life. So…Here’s hoping everything goes well. Anyways, I’m already getting tired of typing. I’ll try to catch up on everything more and more as I go along. But, I’m returning to my regularly scheduled programming!

Updates…Not much in the way of updates. I moved a few files around to make some things cleaner and better accessible for me. But, I did add a new skin today. You can check it out in the Skins section. Or just click below to go right to it.

Wow…It’s been quiet a few days since I last laid my words of wisdom down in some random file on the net. But, I’m here now. Still not much time though. I’ve been very busy with tests and papers and programs in the last few days. And I actually have to finish my World Lit I essay tonight, after work. Well, pretty much just type it up. And, of course, I’ve had a great weekend with the Auburn / Georgia game! 24 – 6! Take that you Georgia Bulldogs’ fans! And anybody else who’s doubted the best team in the nation this year! Not too get too ahead of myself, we still have Alabama this coming Saturday, and then the SEC championship later on. If we win out, there will be no denying us a shot at the title game. Anyways, I haven’t really updated lately, but soon I will have updates aplenty. After tonight, I’ll only have 4 days left before school is out for the Thanksgiving holiday break. And I’ll have ample time to do a little bit on this site. But, until then…

I know…I know…I’ts been a few days. But, I just got through with Buffy The Vampire Slayer 7th Season on DVD Wednesday night. I hope to give a full review of the set in the Forum sometime soon. Then, I’ve been…Well…Being lazy, I guess. No excuse for not blogging. Tomorrow, well today now, is the big day! The Auburn vs Alabama football game! All we have to do is beat the Tide and win the SEC Championship. Then there’s a good chance that the Tigers will be playing for the title game! Anyways, I’m pretty sleepy. I’ve got to work in the morning at ten o’clock, so I’ll be needing some sleep. It’s only a two-hour shift. Yep, I’m lazy. I can go to work for that kind of shift on a few hours sleep. But, I also have to be prepared for the game tomorrow. There’s been no updates as of late. That will change fairly soon. Been lots of kinds of busy with school, work, and Buffy. Anyways, I’m off to dream of Championship games…

Not much time for bloggin today. I’m already late going to bed. I needed to be asleep by like 11 o’clock. I think I can now officially confirm my own addiction to the internet. New episode of Smallville came on tonight. So, my review is up on the Forum. So, go check that out. No updates for today. I actually spent most of the night searching for a good PHP editor. And found nothing really good. Not one of them explained what to do very well. But I did find a good programming editor, it’s called The Programmer’s Notepad. It’s very helpful for lots of different languages. You can color the syntax in way you want. You can get it HERE. Anyways, I’ve got a big day tomorrow, so I’m off to bed. I’ll blog a little better tomorrow…
